BRS working president and Municipal Minister, K.T. Rama Rao said the party was boycotting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Warangal to lay the foundation stone for a wagon manufacturing factory on Saturday, to protest Mr. Modi’s ‘anti-Telangana’ attitude.
Mr. KTR charged the Prime Minister with starting a locomotive factory in Dahod in Gujarat with ₹20,000 crores while the coach repair factory at Kazipet is coming up with an investment of ₹521 crores. People of Telangana have seen this preferential treatment to Gujarat while ignoring the promises made to Telangana in the AP Reorganisation Act.
He claimed that PM Modi was against Telangana since its inception and even the Tribal University was not sanctioned despite the State Government acquiring 360 acres for it.
Similarly, the Bayyaram steel factory is totally forgotten despite it being the right of Telangana. “So we are boycotting PM’s visit totally and no one will attend on behalf of the State government,” he said.
